Article 3.- The land, water surface and sea surface rent rates are defined as follows:

1. Urban land:

1.1. Urban land is land within cities, towns and townships as prescribed in Article 55 of the Land Law. The urban land rent rates are prescribed as follows:

Calculation unit: USD/m2/year

Category of Minimum rent Maximum rent

urban land

Category 1: 1.00 12.00

Category 2: 0.80 9.60

Category 3: 0.60 7.20

Category: 4 0.35 4.20

Category 5: 0.18 2.16

The list of the urban land categories is included in Appendix 1 attached herewith.

1.2. For urban land in mountainous, deep-lying and remote areas and areas with difficult socio-economic conditions, the land rent rates shall be equal to 80% of the rates prescribed in Clause 1.1 of this Article. Particularly for district townships in these areas, the land rent rates shall be equal to 50% of the rates prescribed in Clause 1.1 of this Article;

1.3. The urban land rent is determined as follows:

The annualland rent (USD/m2/year) = The minimum rent rate prescribed for each urban land category (USD/m2/year) x The location coefficient x The infrastructure coefficient x The production-business line coefficient

The coefficients are determined as follows:

a/ The location (site) coefficient:

- The coefficient of 3 shall apply to Location 1 land lots or parcels (hereafter collectively referred to as land lots) with their frontage facing major urban thoroughfares and with locations adjacent to intra-municipal communication links, which are very convenient for production, business, service and tourism activities as well as for daily life and capable of yielding highest profits and have an actual highest land price;

- The coefficient of 2.5 shall apply to Location 2 land lots with their frontages facing streets other than major thoroughfares or facing lanes directly linking to main streets, which are convenient for production, business, service and tourism activities and for daily life, and capable of yielding less profits than Location 1 land and have an average actual land price lower than the actual price of Location 1 land;

- The coefficient of 2 shall apply to Location 3 land lots with their fronts not facing any street, which are fairly convenient for production, business, service and tourism activities and for daily life, capable of yielding profits less than Location 2 land and have an average actual land price lower than the average actual price of Location 2 land;

- The coefficient of 1 shall apply to Location 4 land lots without any sides facing any street or lane, which are less convenient for production, business, service and tourism activities or daily life and have the lowest land price in urban areas.

On the basis of the above-mentioned provisions and depending on the characteristics of each urban area, when determining land rent rates for those land lots that have conditions falling in between the conditions of two kinds of location, a coefficient in between the two coefficients of these two kinds of location may be applied.

b/ The infrastructure coefficient:

- The coefficient of 2 shall apply to land lots that fully meet the following conditions:

+ Convenient communications;

+ There is a power supply facility near the project implementation site which can meet the project's demand;

+ There is a water supply system near the boundary of the project which can be used for the project.

- The coefficient of 1.7 shall apply to land lots that lack one of the above-mentioned conditions.

- The coefficient of 1.4 shall apply to land lots that lack two of the above-mentioned conditions.

- The coefficient of 1 shall apply to land lots that lack all of the three above-mentioned conditions.

c/ The production-business line coefficient:

- The coefficient of 1 shall apply to Group 1 production-business lines of power production and distribution, water supply and drainage, mining, metallurgy, machinery, equipment and transport means manufacturing, basic chemical, fertilizer and insecticide production, oil and gas refining and petro-chemistry, oil and gas pipeline manufacturing , agricultural, forest, aquatic and marine product processing, agriculture, forestry and fishery, medical examination and treatment, schools, production of medicines, manufacture of medical, physical training and sports equipment and instruments, treatment of pollution for environmental protection and treatment of waste matters, construction of bridges, roads, infrastructure businesses, construction of residential houses for sale or lease, industrial parks, export processing zones, high-tech parks and high-tech production establishments;

The coefficient 2 shall apply to Group 3 production-business lines which includes trade and tourism, businesses in hotels, restaurants, financial leasing, consultancy, brokerage, immovable assets (except for infrastructure businesses and construction of houses for sale or lease), finance, banking, insurance and auditing;

In cases where a project involves various production-business lines with different coefficients, the land rent shall be calculated for each production-business line on the basis of the land area used for such line so as to determine the aggregate land rent. If it is impossible to determine the land area used for each production-business line, the production-business line coefficient applicable to the total land area rented by the project shall be the coefficient of the project's principal production-business line.

1.4. For urban districts or communes which are newly established from suburban rural districts or communes, within 10 years from the year the establishment decision is issued, the land rent rates applicable thereto shall be lower than the urban land rent rates as follows:

- For Category 1 urban land, the minimum land rent rate shall not be lower than the minimum land rent rate of Category 3 urban land;

- For Category 2 urban land, the minimum land rent rate shall not be lower than the minimum land rent rate of Category 4 urban land;

- For Category 3 urban land, the minimum land rent rate shall not be lower than the minimum land rent rate of Category 5 urban land;

The non-urban land rent is determined as follows:

The annual non-urban land rent (USD/m2/year) = The minimum rent prescribed for each category of communes x The location coefficient x The infrastructure coefficient x The production-business line coefficient

The coefficients are prescribed as follows:

The location (site) coefficient:

- The coefficient of 3 shall apply to Location 1 land lots that have at least one side adjacent to an urban area, to key communication links or along a major axis road or adjacent to an industrial zone, a trading or service area, which are convenient for production, business, service and tourism activities and for daily life, and capable of yielding highest profits and with the highest actual land price;

- The coefficient of 2.5 shall apply to Location 2 land lots adjacent to Location 1 land lots, fairly convenient for production, business, service and tourism activities as well as for daily life, capable of yielding less profits than Location 1 land and with an average actual land price lower than the actual average price of Location 1 land;
